IMPROVEMENT IN CRPET-LININGS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making p art of the same.

' have invented a new and Improved Garpet-Lining;

and that the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, isa full and exact specification of the saine.

The present invention `consists ot' a carpet-lining,`vl

constructed of a continuous bat or sheet or sheets of loose fibrous material, such as cotton, and a continuous sheet of stout paper or of other close material, with the paper sheet of a width to cncase or envelop both surfaces or sides of the hat, and to be overlapped at and along its edges, where, by stitching or pasting. the whole is secured together'.

In the accompanying drawing niy improved carpetlining is illustrated- Figure l being a transverse section oft-he lining;

Figure 2, a plan view of the same; and

Figure 3, a plan view of the paper sheet, with the bat disposed thereon, and before itis folded to inclosc the bat.

. A in tl1e drawing represents a carpet-lining. made according to this invention;

B, the paper or other close sheetvmaterial and C, the loose fibrous lapl or bat of cotton.

The paper sheet B is of a width in excess of double the width 'of the bat sheet C.

In the manutiicture ot the -lining A the hat sheet G is tirst disposed continuously along thelength of the .papefsheea parallel to the edges thereof, (see fig'. 3,) and then the portion I), of the paper sheet B, beyond the edges a'of thc bat sheet, are folded over and upon Vthe upper surfaces l) of the lap sheet, with thc lines ot fold at or near the bat edges a, thus lapping the paper sheet at and along its edges c, and securing them together and to the hat within by means ot' paste suitably applied, or," which 'is preferable, by stitching, as shown in the drawing at f. y

lhc advantages of a carpet-lining made as described aref:

First, th,at a complete continuous inclosure ot' the bat is secured, preventing its escape in handling, and, when thc lining is laid, its entanglement with the carpet 7 ofthe lining, giving an even tread through the whole width and Third, that, i'ronl Athe peculiar fold described 0f the one paper sheet over the bat, only one line of paste or of sewing is necessary to secure the bat and paper sheets together, thus lessening somewhat the cost ot' manufacture.

Having thus described my invention,

What l claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is'- As a new article ot manufacture, the carpet-lining A, consisting ofthe continuous bat O and single sheet lof paper B, folded over and enveloping said bat, and with its edges c overlapping cach other and secured,

as and for the purpose herein described.V

l In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 2d day oi' March, A. I). 1869.
